When I booked my dive trip to Con Dao, I was picturing stunning reefs. And I found them. But I saw something on the Amadive itinerary: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My heart jumped. This was more than a typical dive; this was an exploration into the past.
I'll admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Wreck diving requires extra care. But the crew at **Amadive** were incredible. The Divemasters gave us an excellent briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the story of the wreck, and what to expect below. The fact we were in a small group immediately made me feel safe.
Descending was unforgettable. First, it was just a shadow in the distance, then suddenly it came into view. It is enormous. The ship is now a thriving new home, draped in soft corals and swarming with marine life. I spotted big groupers check here peeking from inside the cargo hold, and lionfish hiding in the cracks. That feeling of gliding alongside this silent, ghostly structure was hard to describe—haunting, awe-inspiring, and humbling all at once. It's a time capsule under the water.
For any an Open Water diver (or higher) coming to Con Dao and seeking something more the standard reef, I cannot recommend this **Con Dao wreck dive** highly enough. It was the unforgettable highlight of my diving trip. A huge shout-out to the **Amadive** crew for their expertise and for making this unforgettable experience so safe.
